Do Jindogs shed a lot of hair?

Jindos shed heavily twice a year, usually in the Spring and Fall. During these periods, your furry friend will lose their entire undercoat, and the shedding can last for over a month. It’s like having your very own furry snowstorm in your home!

But fear not, outside of these two shedding seasons, Jindos are generally tidy dogs with minimal hair loss. Although, if you want to live in a hair free home, Jindos are probably not the breed for you. I have to clean our floor’s daily, because my Jindo cross Doggie loses enough hair even out of season.

Bathing and grooming: The battle against loose hair

During shedding seasons, regular bathing is recommended to remove as much loose hair as possible. Now, here’s where the fun begins. Many Jindos are not exactly fond of baths, so be prepared for a splashy adventure! Try to make bath time a positive experience by using treats, toys, or even playing some soothing music. And remember, patience is key!

Daily brushing is also an excellent way to control your Jindo’s shedding. Not only does it remove loose hair, but it also helps distribute the natural oils in their coat, keeping it healthy and shiny. Make it a bonding activity by turning on some energetic music and turning grooming time into a dance party! Your Jindo might just enjoy the extra attention.

To shave or not to shave?

While it’s generally not recommended to shave a Jindo due to their double coat, there are exceptions. Some owners opt to shave their Jindo-crosses, and while the experience might not be the most enjoyable for your pup, it can significantly reduce the amount of loose hair floating around your home. Just be aware that shaving can cause the coat to grow back unevenly, so consult with a professional groomer if you’re considering this option.

Embrace the fluff and love your Jindo

Remember, shedding is a natural process for dogs, and it’s a small price to pay for the joy and companionship they bring into our lives. With some patience, regular grooming, and maybe a dance party or two, you can manage your Jindo’s shedding and keep your home looking spick and span.

So, embrace the fluff, stock up on lint rollers, and enjoy every moment with your Jindo dog. After all, a little extra hair is a small sacrifice for the unconditional love and endless entertainment they provide. Happy shedding season!
